They should focus on making the food taste good. I have been there a few times and food is not good. My wife and I went for our 16th wedding anniversary in Nov of 2011 and had the 4 or 5 course meal and none of courses were worth eating. After that we officially crossed them off of our list of restaurants to visit.

I like the food and go there a couple times a year, but I'm seriously having trouble trying to picture where exactly a patio of that size is going to fit. The rendering really doesn't show the distance between the back of the existing building and the hill behind it. Wasn't part of the problem with the fire a few years ago that they couldn't get anything behind the buildings because of the position?

The blue print is showing the rear of the building. It's situated on a hill that right now is just a bunch of overgrowth that nobody has done anything with for at least about a decade. Needless to say, this is a big financial undertaking but we feel it will pay off in that we will finally be able to offer some of the best outdoor seating in Howard County. Hopefully the weather will have cooled off a little by the time the patio is completed.

Mr. Evers- I sincerely apologize that your experience was a disappointment. I promise that what you experienced in 2011 is not indicative of a typical Portalli's visit. Please contact me at lee@diamondbacktavern.com, we would like to make things right with you.
